Christmas afternoon we headed north to visit family and celebrated Christmas with Wills family. Isabella & Sophia enjoyed playing with their extended family at Uncle Mike's house. They even had dinner at the kids table. After a lovely dinner, we headed to The Schaefers for more celebrating. The girls were in the swing opening gifts and enjoyed tearing off all the paper. They were a bit tired and at one point Isabella climbed on the couch behind Sean "to rest". The girls bonded with their new uncle Sean and opened wanted to open their gifts with him. They also really liked the Santa on display!

The following day, the girls and I went to visit my family. We stayed at my grandparents which brought back many wonderful memories of when I was a child. It has been about 20 years since I have stayed there but it seemed like only yesterday. It was cute to see the girls ride a toy that I played with as a child. The girls enjoyed spending time at my grandmothers.

On the 27th, my grandmother hosted a small family gathering. I loved seeing my extended family and the girls had a blast playing with their cousins. The kids all performed on the "stage" which made for cute entertainment. My cousin Carrie and I did that on the same stage when we were kids. There were various acts performed. Isabella and Sophia hopped liked frogs on stage for their act. Sophia also enjoyed a little dancing on stage with the big kids.
